Garbage and Recycling Changes
Town and Country Sanitation began an automated collection system in April, 2018 in Gays Mills. New "toters" (garbage bins) were delivered to area residents. The toter with the black lid is used for garbage and the toter with the yellow lid is used for recyclables. Town and Country mailed out information to all Village residents regarding the new collection system. Please review the mailing for more information or contact Kristi at Town and Country Sanitation: 1-800-626-1915 or kristis@tcsanitation.com with your questions. 
Weekly garbage collection will continue on Thursdays and recycling will move to every other Thursday starting in April.

Welcome to Gays Mills

The Village of Gays Mills lies in a valley among the steeply chiseled bluffs of the Ocooch Mountains located in the heart of the region known as the Driftless Area of Southwest Wisconsin. The area’s unique topography is the result of escaping the land-flattening glaciers of the last ice age some 10,000 years ago, thereby earning the “Driftless” designation. Gays Mills also sits along the banks of the Kickapoo River which winds its way through the valley and gives the land its ambiance and appeal. The river also carried the area’s first explorers and lured the first inhabitants.
